Review of the Great Western Credit Union, Savings:

Love the new fixed rate saver

I opened a Fixed Rate Saver which had a great interest rate (5%). The online process was really easy and moving money from my bank to the credit union so simple. I now feel like I've made a sensible financial decision but one which helps others in my community. Reviewed on: 19th April 2024

Never disappoint

They simply the best. No extra charges and very reliable Reviewed on: 3rd September 2021

Great local bank

Is great to have the opportunity to have your savings working for a good cause at a local level, rather than letting a bank play with it investing in weapons or oil, for instance. Reviewed on: 3rd September 2021
